Laos

Transport

There is quite a good public transport infrastructure in Laos, meaning that public transport is cheap and will take you almost anywhere you want to go, however, be prepared for the fact that it won’t happen quickly.

By car or busWhen travelling on the road in Laos also be aware that road safety is negligible compared to Western countries so don’t expect buses to have seat belts or for drivers to necessarily respect the rules of the road.

By motorbikeOne common way to get around is to hire a motorcycle taxi which means hopping on the back of a motorbike but make sure you always wear a helmet, as many travelers have had often serious accidents as the result of not wearing one.

Why I LOVE Laos

Laos amazed me with the serene beautiful rural areas with locals who seem to be so happy with so few things. While the pretty views make sure you can truly connect with yourself, a different side is also there as Laos has an active backpacker culture with some cool parties to meet fellow backpackers!
